As webOS Nation has discovered, the design firm Transparent House posted a brief clip of a device described as "WindsorNot" some eight months ago, which is very clearly a touchscreen-only webOS smartphone. As the site notes, that appears to be the very same device that had previously turned up in leaked photos (http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/06/hps-keyboard-less-webos-phone-and-verizon-pre-3-leaked/)under the codename "Stingray (http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/18/evidence-of-webos-netbook-and-keyboard-less-phone-pop-up-in-deve/)," and it estimates that the phone has the same 3.6-inch screen as the Pre 3. Details are scarce beyond that, but you can get a good look at what might have been in the video after the break -- not to mention yet another look at the unreleased TouchPad Go (a.k.a. Opal (http://www.engadget.com/tag/hp,opal)) on Transparent House's Vimeo page linked below.
